Srinivasan Considering Late Jump into Race for Secretary of the State. With Update.

Next! This morning of reality checks finds state Representative Prasad Srinivasan (R-Glastonbury) exploring a Friday switch from the contest for governor to the one for secretary of the state. His supporters are making calls to weigh his chances at today’s convention, Daily Ructions has learned. Srinivasan enjoyed a fast fundraising start in 2017 when he became a candidate for governor. Delegates, however, have not followed.  The roll call for governor would likely see the Glastonbury allergist eliminated on the first ballot with no prospect of joining others in the August primary for governor.

Srinivasan would face former New Fairfield first selectman Susan Chapman, and would have a shot at winning the convention endorsement.

Update: The Srinivasan campaign says the candidate is not considering a bid for secretary of the state. (Pssst–He might want to tell some of his people to stop making calls testing his support for the late switch.)
